This study proposes and presents a new central office (CO) for the optical metro access
network (OMAN) with an affordable and distinctive switching system. The CO's foundation is …

Consistent growth in the volume and dynamic behavior of traffic mandates new
requirements for fast and adaptive resource allocation in metro networks. We propose a …

We experimentally observe the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) degradation of previously
established services induced by loading new services in a network, and we mitigate this …

Network virtualization can improve the utilization of a physical network by enabling the
coexistence of multiple virtual networks supporting different services. For an elastic optical …

Metropolitan optical networks are undergoing major transformations to continue being able
